Chappell Roan Leaves Talent Agency After CEO Appears in Epstein Files

Chappell Roan is making a clean break. The 27-year-old singer-songwriter confirmed she has left her talent agency, Wasserman, days after its CEO was named in documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

The move has sparked fresh conversations in the music industry about values, accountability, and who artists choose to stand behind.

Why Chappell Roan Left

Roan announced her decision on Instagram, saying she couldn’t stay silent when leadership actions clash with her personal values.

“No artist, agent or employee should be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values,” she wrote, adding that artists deserve representation that aligns with what they believe in.

She thanked the agents and staff who supported her but made it clear she was ready to move on.

What the Epstein Files Are About

The Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed by Congress in November, forced the US Department of Justice to release documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender.

Among the names mentioned was Casey Wasserman, CEO of Wasserman and chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Wasserman’s Response

Wasserman previously acknowledged exchanging flirtatious and sexually suggestive emails in 2003 with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime girlfriend. Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for helping Epstein sexually exploit minors.

Wasserman, who was married at the time of his flirtations with Maxwell, has not been accused of any crime related to the Epstein case.

A Bigger Industry Moment

Roan didn’t directly reference Epstein or the documents in her statement, but her message was clear: leadership matters, and accountability starts at the top.

Her exit adds to a growing trend of artists taking firmer public stances on who represents them—and why.
